Byrds, The - One Hundred Years From Now Lyrics

The great CLARENCE WHITE!

Amo essa banda!

fuck, I adore this song. Despite the slide playing, I'd argue it's the most psychedelic song on SHOTR. Gram came and went wherever he went, but man, the dude knew what he was doing

Sublime.

Timeless...

Clarence White cutting loose on the B bender on the second verse.

“One hundred years from this day
Will the people still feel this way
Still say the things that they're sayin' right now
Everyone said I hurt you,
They said that I desert you
If I go away,
You know I'm going to get back somehow
Nobody knows what kind of trouble there is
Nobody seems to think it all might happen again
One hundred years from this time
Would anybody change their minds
And find out one thing or two about life
But people are always talking
You know they're always talking
Everybody's so wrong
That I know it's gonna work out fine
Nobody knows what kind of trouble there is
Nobody seems to think it all might happen again”

Phenomenal track.

A great song penned by Gram Parsons, from an equally outstanding album.

Heard this for the first time when I was 5. Will be 51 in a month still love it.To Ed Sciaky who didn't play this for me "SHAME ON YOU."

The song was released in 1968, so we are halfway to learning the answer to the question the song asks.

Written by Gram Parsons- Roger McGuinn is 76 today-piano by Barry Goldberg,steel by Lloyd Green and electric guitar by the late,great Clarence White-vocals by Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman.

I wonder why Barry gets no credit on the album? https://cover.box3.net/newsimg/dvdmov/max1318173795-frontback-cover.jpg

An amazing track. I love Clarence White's picking. It compliments the pedal steel guitar so well.
Clarence was a Godsend to this world. Simply, a wonderful guitar player. Brilliant.

You're right!

cove looks identical to NRPS cover, should have seen me running 💟

Mad Clarence White on this song!! Also on "Time Between" love it!!

"EVerybody's so wrong, I know it's gonna work out right."

Fuck yeah.

Great album. The Gram vocal versions are great.

Great song...

good musicians can play any genre, if they want to

Love, Love, Love this song and have loved this album for 20 years.

I've loved it for over 50 years.

can i just say Stone Roses...

Dan Abrahams which song?

Dan Abrahams NO

I don't think Clarence actually had his B bender when this was recorded. It's just great pickin!

I think if you listen to takes 13 and 14 here on YouTube, you'll agree he did play the B bender after all. Give it a go.

B bender after this album via gene parsons

this song is perfect

Gram was genuine and his spirit was pure, and from that position, perfection just happens.

Absolute truth... It is perfect.

still perfect :)

I think it's the best track of this strange country album of The Byrds ! 

+frederic donadille: "Hickory Wind" "You ain't go nowhere" and "Nothing was delivered" are really great, too.

My simple remark is shared by all what guitar

One hundred years from us? How about thousand years? From that Jesus born and that Big Bang?

released 35 years ago today! 8/30/68

It was released 50 years ago. Five years ago it had been 45 years, not 35.

This album concerns an amazing wonderful musical product.

better with Gram singing though still very listenable

My absolute favorite Byrds song (and that's sayin' something since The Byrds make it mighty hard to choose!)

I agree . . .the album lists Gram Parson as the writer.

I a pretty sure Gram Parson's wrote this one.

Greatest percussion/guitar interface !!! ..McGuinn was so ahead of his time

Another great Gene Clark tune. Feel free to listen to original a cutie too.

Gram Parsons wrote this.

Gene Clark didn't write this. Gram Parsons did.

Man, you know your stuff.

i love to sing this song!

God Bless the Byrds the bees the flowers and the trees,great album love that pedal steel,thank you for uploading!

Happy 44th Birthday this Album!!!

Clarence White - great guitarist no doubt, but too flashy by half for the Byrds. That's my view.

so its not gram parsons

Gram Parsons wrote this song. I keep listening to country from the roots to 1975 and there's just no one like Gram Parsons. What a shame. Truly a genius.

this is some of the finest music the byrds cut,i underestimated it!

It's Clarence doing those pinched harmonic fills on a telecaster w/B-bender, which enhance the tone of this tune. Great pedal steel of course.

Yeah, it is. One of the finest examples of country guitar ever recorded.

Clarence White to be sure!

It's Chris Hillman and Gram Parsons with McGuinn on lead. They overdubbed their voices over Gram's lead vocal take due to issues with Gram's old label.

Who's sings all the high harmony parts on this song? Its not Crosby, he was gone by this point.

I don't listen to much country music, but when i do, it's either The Byrds or The Flying Burrito Bros. Exceptional.

Try Poco, they're as good as either

Shame Gram isn't on this.

He is if you listen closely. He is in the vocal mix not upfront.

Some Byrds for breakfast. From Sweetheaerts of the rodeo.

I didn't hurt that Clarence had his B-Bender!

That's gotta be Clarence White on lead guitar- Jesus he's all over the neck on this one. How can one guy play like he's got three hands? Awesome...

Because he was a genius bluegrass player.

RIP Gene & Mike

Agreed, even though neither one played on this song.

infinite stars in the rating, dude! :)
